ABELIN, JOHANN PHILIPP , an See also:early 16th-See also:century See also:German chronicler, was See also:born, probably, at Strasburg, and died there between the years 1634 and 1637. He wrote numerous histories over the pseudonyms of Philipp Arlanibaus, Abeleus and Johann See also:Ludwig Gottfried or Gotofredus, his earliest See also:works of importance being his See also:history of the German See also:wars of Gustavus See also:Adolphus, entitled Arma Suecica (pub. 1631-1634, in 12 parts), and the Inventarium Sueciae (1632)—both compilations from existing records. His best known See also:work is the Theatrum Europaeum, a See also:series of See also:chronicles of the See also:chief events in the history of the See also:world down to 1619. He was himself responsible for the first two volumes. It was continued by various writers and See also:grew to twenty-one volumes (Frankf. 1633-1738). The chief See also:interest of the work is, however, its See also:illustration by the beautiful See also:copper-See also:plate engravings of Matthaus See also:Merian (1593-1650). Abelin also wrote a history of the See also:antipodes, Historia Antipodum (posthumously pub. Frankf. 1655), and a history of See also:India. See G.
